As at 30 September 2007, the Bank has issued 410,788,387 shares.
The Bank's continuous growth and consistent dividend policy has attracted local and foreign investors. This has resulted in an increase in the shares' liquidity which for the nine month period of 2007 amounted to an average of 1,322,205 shares per day.
The credit rating of the Bank remains at a high level (Standard & Poor's: BBB+, Moody's: A1, Fitch Ratings: A-) and reflects the dynamics of its operations and the positive outlook with respect to its share price.
These financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors on 30 October 2007.
The Bank has prepared the condensed interim financial statements as at 30 September 2007 in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value:
The financial statements are presented in Euro, rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise indicated.
The accounting policies applied by the Bank, in the condensed interim financial statements as at 30 September 2007, are consistent with those stated in the published financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2006, after taking into account new standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), adopted by the European Union and they are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2007:
IFRS 7 and the amendment to IAS 1 result in changes relating to the disclosure requirements of financial instruments, which will be presented in the annual financial statements.
ñ Interpretation 7 «Applying the Restatement Approach under IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies (Regulation 708/2006)
The adoption of this interpretation had no effect on Group's financial statements as the Group has no operations in hyperinflationary economies.
ñ Interpretations 8 and 9 «Scope of IFRS 2» and «Reassessment of embedded derivatives» (Regulation 1329/2006)
The adoption of these interpretations had no impact on the Group's financial statements.
ñ Interpretation 10 «Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment» (Regulation 610/2007)
With the adoption of this interpretation an entity cannot reverse an impairment loss recognized in an interim period in respect of goodwill or an investment in either an equity instrument or a financial asset carried at cost.
The adoption of this interpretation did not have an impact on Group's financial statements.
Apart from the above standards and interpretations, the European Union on 1 June 2007 adopted, through regulation 611/2007, Interpretation 11 «IFRS 2 – Group and Treasury Share Transactions», which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.3.2007. The adoption of this interpretation is not expected to have a substantial impact on the Group's financial statements.
In addition, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has issued the following standards and interpretations which have not yet been adopted by the European Union.
ñ International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 8 «Operating segments» Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2009
This standard replaces IAS 14 «Segment reporting».
Its adoption by the European Union and by the Group is expected to affect the way that the Group's disclosures relating to operating segments are presented.
ñ Amendment of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 23 «Borrowing costs» Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2009
On 29 March 2007, the Board issued the revised IAS 23, which removed the option of immediately recognizing as an expense all borrowing costs that relate to assets that have a substantial period of time to get ready for use or sale. Such borrowing costs are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset.
The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a substantial impact on the Group's financial statements.
ñ Amendment of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 1 «Presentation of financial statements» Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2009
On 6 September 2007, the Board published the revised version of IAS 1 in which is required to aggregate information in the financial statements on the basis of shared characteristics and introduces the statement of comprehensive income. The comprehensive income statement includes profit or loss for the period and all non owner changes in equity, which may be presented either as a subtotal of the statement of comprehensive income or in a separate statement.
The adoption of this Standard by the European Union and the Group will affect the presentation of financial statements.
The Group is examining whether there will be an impact from the adoption of the above Interpretations in the financial statements.
The adoption by the European Union, by 31 December 2007, of new standards and interpretations or amendments possibly issued during the current year by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and their mandatory or optional adoption will be effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007, may retrospectively affect the period that these interim financial statements present.

In accordance with Greek tax law the profits of entities in Greece are taxed at a rate of 29% for 2006 and 25% for 2007 and thereafter.
In addition, in accordance with article 9 of Law 2992/2002, as amended by Law 3259/2004, the tax rate for entities that have concluded mergers by 31.12.2005 is reduced by 10% and 5%. This reduced rate is applicable on the profits declared for the first and second fiscal year after the completion of the merger respectively, on the condition that the entities were not related from 1.1.1997 up to 20.3.2002. For entities that were related up to 31.12.1996 the reduction of the tax rate amounts to 5% for each year.
Based on the above, the 2006 profit of the Bank was taxed at the rate of 24% due to the merger with the listed company Delta Singular A.E.P., completed on 8.4.2005. The Bank was not related with Delta Singular A.E.P. before 1.1.1997.
It should be noted that, as all profits have been taxed, the distribution of dividends to shareholders are free of tax.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
The Bank has a single category of dilutive potential ordinary shares resulting from a share options program.
For the share options, a calculation is performed to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average market share price of the Bank's shares for the period) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding share options.
The weighted average number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options.

The capital adequacy ratio is determined by comparing the Group's regulatory own funds with the risks that the Group undertakes (risk weighted assets). Own funds include Tier I capital (share capital, reserves, minority interests), additional Tier I capital (hybrid debt) and Tier II capital (subordinated debt and fixed asset revaluation reserves). The risk-weighted assets arise from the credit risk of the investment portfolio and the market risk of the trading portfolio.
The Group uses all modern methods to manage capital adequacy. It has issued hybrid and subordinated debt which are included on the calculation as regulatory own-funds. The cost of these securities is lower than share capital and adds value to the shareholders.
The current capital ratios (Tier I ratio and capital adequacy ratio) are much higher than the regulatory limits set by the Bank of Greece directive (4% and 8%, respectively) and the capital base is capable to support the business growth of the Group in all areas for the next years.
